And no, this is not "just like the original factory wars", because in this case NHRA is a knowing and willing accomplice colluding to screw over anyone not willing and able to just pony up for a brand new factory Stock Eliminator class killer. And in this economy, that is the vast majority of racers, because the vast majority could never afford to to it, even if they could sell their current car, which they can't, because even without the market being flooded, cars aren't selling, unless they're nearly given away, and a lot of them aren't selling even then. Imagine what cars would be worth if a large segment of racers began trying to sell them in order to build these new killer cars, if they could, or wanted to.
Alan-

Racers that are already competing in these "new" car classes, are already vested deep with the car they already own. If you were wanting to build a '69 Camaro for AA, A, or B, you would already know that to run with guys like Sorensen, Richard, Defrank, Shaul, to name a few, you would have to realize that you're going to spend over a $80,000 to field this car. This number might be light, unless you're going to do alot of the work yourself.
So the new car prices are not entirely out of line for a very fast, high class car. IMO
